The war is escalating whether you know it or not. The Right is ramping up for violence. They brag about it and organize for it on their discussion boards. If you think you’re going to passively protest, oppose or resist, well then you will be in for an unpleasant surprise. The Right is not going to let you get away with passive or peaceful anything.

The Right had already raised Kyle Chapman to hero status for clubbing Left protesters.

Now two men have been murdered on a Portland train for standing up to another Rightwing foot soldier, Jeremy Christian. Christian was known to police as a violent white supremacist and for his violent threats at Portland protests.

They will take your healthcare. They will take your kids healthcare. They will dump coal ash in your water. They will pump fracking poison into your water. They will trap your children into student loan debt slavery. They will start wars you want no parts of and send your poorest children to fight and die for them. In short: They will bankrupt, enslave and poison you and your children, without the slightest hesitation. How long do we put up with this? How long?

And it looks like half of them are happy to work with a foreign government while they’re trying to undo you and your family and the planet we live on.

Poor people can’t really fight back, they can’t afford lawyers and they can’t afford to take off work for court appearances so they’re pretty easy to torment and steal from. If you don’t believe me just ask Jared, he’s a pro at it.

The real deep state isn’t the intel community who appear to be justifiably at war with Team Trump. The Real deep state is Robert Mercer and the Devos/Prince clan, and the Koch brothers. The people in the 1%er club are the real deep state.

Trump’s Secretary of Eduction, Betsy DeVos, comes from a family that is drowning in money. She’s pushing to end the already nearly impossible task of student loan forgiveness. She’s also pushing to move public education into a for profit venture. All her actions seem to be designed to help the rich get richer. The rich in this country are already extremely rich. How much do that want? What is their end game?

Paul Ryan thinks it’s a good idea for his family to keep their sicknesses and abuses a secret. Keep it in the family. Russians influencing American politics– Shhhhh. Don’t tell anyone, kids, that’s how we know we’re a family.

It’s another illustrative example of the dysfunctional GOP family values. This is a very, very sick family.

Putin decided to sow the seeds of confusion and chaos in the West. He has succeeded, probably beyond his hopes. Of course, as every former KGB agent or wannabe Lago from Othello knows, to sow chaos you only have to exploit existing divisions and weaknesses.

Putin’s plan succeeded so bigly because the divisions in America were so gaping before he even started exploiting them. The Rightwing media has stoked those divisions by feeding their readers and viewers a steady diet of delusion and resentment and ‘us versus them’ mentality. The Left has contributed to the divides by tacitly embracing neoliberal economic policies which have fueled the increasing economic inequality and anxiety.

It’s been quiet today, but no day is devoid of intel leaks with President Ass Clown in the White House, and in a normal world anyone of these would be the headline for days, now we consider this the background noise of a quiet day:
